Synopsis

**An Instant New York Times Bestseller!

Return to the immersive, action-packed world of Warcross in this thrilling sequel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu**

Emika Chen barely made it out of the Warcross Championships alive. Now that she knows the truth behind Hideo's new NeuroLink algorithm, she can no longer trust the one person she's always looked up to, who she once thought was on her side.

Determined to put a stop to Hideo's grim plans, Emika and the Phoenix Riders band together, only to find a new threat lurking on the neon-lit streets of Tokyo. Someone's put a bounty on Emika's head, and her sole chance for survival lies with Zero and the Blackcoats, his ruthless crew. But Emika soon learns that Zero isn't all that he seems--and his protection comes at a price.

Caught in a web of betrayal, with the future of free will at risk, just how far will Emika go to take down the man she loves?

In this explosive sequel to the New York Times bestselling Warcross, Marie Lu delivers an addictive finale that will hold you captive till the very last page.

As always

Great and unpredictable. A bit emotional. But with moments of inspiration and endless opportunities. Like a teenage dream of 2018. Impossible to give up and leave it unread.

AMAZING!!!

I've been waiting for this sequel for sooooo long, and I can't tell you how happy I am that it's here. My hopes were pretty high, given how the last book ended... and I was not disappointed! The story started off a little slow, focusing more on characters and build-up, all so it can explode in the middle. From there, it's a wild ride that had me flipping pages so I could find out what happened next. The story was completely fantastic and beautiful with its emotion. I could literally feel my heart pound near the end, and everything turned out the way it needed to.
I was very happy to learn more about all the beloved side characters and their pasts, as well as new and complicated character, Jax. But of course, the two main leads, Emika and Hideo, shone in the spotlight. Emika is always going to be my most favourite rainbow-haired hacker, and Hideo's emotional and mental torment is always a wonderful thing to read. They were almost over shone by Zero and his tragic backstory. Almost... but I may have been playing favourites.
The world is always fantastic and I really don't want to leave it behind. The pacing is spot on and the action is always intense and thrilling. I really can't recommend this duology enough to lovers of cyberpunk, strong women, romance, and fierce bonds of friendship. It's truly one of a kind!

My love for Emika Chen will never die

“Hideo was a trap, too, Ash…and none of us saw that coming.”
Hands up if you saw it coming! In all seriousness, the twists and turns in Warcross were a little predictable, but I still enjoyed the book immensely. It’s not a hardcore drama by any means, but it is full of action and heart. Personally, I love Emika Chen and I would read almost any book with her at the helm. Most of my hopes for Wildcard revolve around her.
Emika please, for the love of your fans, drop Hideo like a hot potato. I’m worried that a lot of Wildcard is going to focus on her unresolved feelings for him, and I am over it. He’s bad news! There is an atmosphere of paranoia in the sampler cultivated by Hideo’s evil deeds, and I think it will make for a really compelling book. I am both excited and terrified to see what Emika will have to come up against.
Overall, I think I will pick up Wildcard though there are some plot elements I hope don’t take up too much focus. I think this installment will feel more like The Matrix than Ready Player One. That will open up a lot of new techy opportunities for Emika and co. that I am looking forward to reading in full.

Promising taste of what the book will offer

I normally don't read sneak peeks but I am so looking forward to this one that I just couldn't help myself!
I am thrilled that Wildcard seems to pick up right where Warcross left off and am loving the character, Jax. Although this was only the first 3 chapters, I can already tell that my high expectations for this sequel will be met! Come on September!!!
Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group for providing this great little tease.
